We decided to use a picture schedule and communication cards to help with behavior problems. We have been using the picture/visual schedule for about a month now and we are having great success with it. It helps our little guy to know what is coming up during the day and he can go check it any time he needs to. Also, we have put up pictures instructing him on the steps for brushing teeth, going to the bathroom, washing hands, etc. We have placed several pictures for the foods he will eat on the fridge so he can point to what he wants if he is unable to tell us. Hint: Page protectors will prolong the life of your charts!

Unfortunately, I found few websites that had what I needed. I found several of my pictures, like for playing, grocery stores, restaurants, etc, on Google Images. It took some work, and some time to organize, but it has paid off. Here are a couple of websites I found that were helpful.

I am a mom to three special-needs kids. Writing about my experiences is something new I'm embarking on. I hope my musings help, not only me, but someone else out there who walks in shoes similar to my own.
